I had the same surgery two years ago. You're over the worst of the pain. Just take it easy, in a few days you'll feel 100% better but don't get fooled! Walking is your best exercise, every day! As soon as you can stand it, ditch the pain meds. Save some for the bad days, maybe you'll need one to sleep comfortably for the next two weeks but you're through the worst. Good Luck!
